CF kiddos in daycare

[izemmom]

Since you mentioned it, Emily did come home from daycare a few weeks ago saying "dammit". Kind of hysterical comiing out of her mouth when she uses it in the proper context, such as when she says, "Dammit Daddy, no!" when he says, "Lets get your vest, Emily!"

Sorry, hijack of this thread is over!

I laughed so hard I snorted. That is hysterical y'all!

Ok, to get serious about the topic at hand...

We kept Abby home for a year, but then decided on a local, "institutional" setting day care. I put that in quotes because they truly love my children (my oldest started there at 6 weeks old) and I know that they take excellent care of them. There are small class sizes and I'm well informed of any "outbreaks" of flu, colds, etc. that I need to be concerned about with Abby.

They willingly became educated about what they could do to help keep Abby healthy. The trick we found was to talk with her "teachers" and the "administration" candidly about what we needed from them to keep her healthy. They were receptive and understood. When she's out they ask what they can do when she comes back.

My only concerns are with meds. If she needs nebs more than 2 times a day, I don't like sending them to school. The reason is that they don't do the nebs correctly. I've talked and "trained" folks, but they get frustrated with her fighting with them and refusing (shaking head, walking off, screaming bloody murder...) to do them. We're still trying to figure out how to manage that. We talked about taking shifts getting up in the middle of the night to do the nebs and CPT. Our daycare will not do CPT.

Ok, that is all I can think of. I hope I helped!

Other than enzymes, the daycare/preschool doesn't administer any meds, unless I accidentally forget to give him one of his 4 keflex meds, then I bring it along and ask that he be given it with lunch.

We've never asked about nebs or cpt. A friend of mine used to go to her child's daycare over her lunch hour and do cpt or the vest when they needed to up treatments to 4 times a day, but otherwise they just do it twice a day. We do it three times a day -- I start doing CPT at 6 while DS is still sleeping, then when we get home at 5:15 he does his vest and nebs and then around 10 he does his vest and nebs again. When we've had to do 4 times a day, DH set the alarm at about 2 and did CPT for 15 minutes and then back to bed or if it's on a weekend or he's home sick, we'll do a treatment around noon.

DH used to have a barber who'd worked at a day care center and would do CPT on one of the kids there.
